Should've stayed our own country, huh? And miss out on all the fun of federal politics? Where's your sense of adventure! Besides, being bigger than most European countries ain't too shabby for a 'state'.

You think that's wild, wait till you hear about the rumors that there's a secret clause that allows Texas to secede whenever it wants. Big if true, but no one has found solid proof yet. Makes you wonder what's really in the Texas state archives, doesn't it?

That's one of the things that make Texas history so cool, y’all. The Battle of the Alamo and the fight for independence from Mexico is a story full of courage and resilience. Also, don't forget that Texas maintained the right to split into five separate states when it joined the Union. Imagine that!

Wow, I just moved to Texas and had no idea about this! That's pretty cool! 🤩

Haha, imagine if Texas was still its own country. You'd probably need a passport to get some authentic bbq or attend SXSW. Plus, no more arguing about which state is the best. It'd just be Texas vs everyone else lol.

The Republic of Texas indeed had a unique history. Not only did it function as its own nation with its own government, but it also had to fend off attacks from Mexico until ultimately joining the United States. What's also fascinating is the level of international diplomacy Texas engaged in, having established foreign relations with major powers like the United States, France, and Britain. Texas’s decision to join the union was driven both by economic reasons and the need for military support.

Yeah, man, The Republic of Texas was legit! President Sam Houston one badass founding father. Sometimes I think it would have been cool if we stayed our own country too, but then we wouldn't have the same history. You gotta admit being part of the US has its perks, but #TexasIndependenceDay should be a national holiday 🤠
